I have both, M3 and X5M. There are little annoyances with the truck, creaks and rattles over time that can be addressed by the dealer, especially the trunk lid rattle. The battery was replaced by my dealer in case you get pushback down the road. Also, if you run it in winter, get winter tires and cover the extended wheel flares with some invisible bra, they will be pitted like crazy with Salt or gravel - ask me how I know.

If you feel the truck suspension too bouncy try non RFT tires which could make it much more compliant. Oh yeah, and you will need lots of Gas, Gas, Gas......more than the M3 V8.

Turbo HPFP issues are hit or miss.
